Interesting, maybe this doesn't work on windows. I'll think about this.

Status: I will look into this after July 1st.

@jmshapir I'm reasonably confident that this would be robust. Of course, I cannot foresee scenarios that I don't know, but the good news is that I'll be available for a while to maintain it.

@zhizhongpu thanks. Should we recompile (the relevant portions of) Template to verify that it works? If we need an example we could add, say, the difference between GDP per capita in Norway and Lichtenstein to the table.

thanks @jmshapir. I was wondering about this. In particular, despite the SConscript specifications

Template/source/paper/SConscript

Lines 3 to 17 in 16f7a51

	target = ['#output/paper/TemplateLyx.pdf']
	source = ['#source/paper/Template.lyx',
	'#output/tables/top_gdp.lyx',
	'#output/analysis/top_gdp/top_gdp.tex',
	'#source/figures/gdp_educ.lyx',
	'#source/paper/References.bib']
	env.Lyx(target, source)
	target = ['#output/paper/TemplateTex.pdf']
	source = ['#source/paper/Template.tex',

and

Template/source/talk/SConscript

Lines 3 to 13 in 16f7a51

	target = ['#output/talk/TemplateSlides.pdf', '#temp/Template.handout.pdf']
	source = ['#source/talk/TemplateSlides.lyx',

, output/paper and output/talk have been empty since at least two years ago. Is that intentional?

If we need an example we could add, say, the difference between GDP per capita in Norway and Lichtenstein to the table.

Will do. Would you also like to illustrate, by the way, the use case of filling two panels of the same lyx table using two separate txt tables? A reader might find that either more useful or more complicated.

If you mean these omissions:

Template/README.md

Line 32 in c69748d

- Files tracked by git-lfs are ignored in `output/` because [git-lfs files are not permitted in a template repository](https://github.community/t/lfs-support-for-template-repos/122449).

then yes!

I agree with the tradeoffs and my instinct is no.
